Be Content With What You Have

Hebrews 13:5 reads, "Keep your lives from the love of money and be content with what you have, because has said, "never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."

William Barclay writes, "the Christian must be free from the love of money. He must be content with what he has, and why he should not be, for he possesses the continual presence of God?" The writer to the Hebrews quotes two great O.T. passages - - Joshua 1:5 and Psalm 118:6 to show that the man of God needs nothing more because he has with him always the presence and the help of God. Nothing that man can give him, no gift that earthly ambition can wring from life, can improve on that."

The words of the well known chorus are surely biblically correct, "Christ is all I need!"
